a man who says he is a fan of abraham lincoln to talk about the blood by the lash and the blood by the sword, approved our history could not talk about equal rights and have the republic survive so long as part of our population was in slavery. he made it sound as if it was some sort of combustible axiom within the nation itself that that occurred rather than the conscious choice of abraham lincoln. and the north, to commit military resources to the nation's future and fate as well as the lives of 300,000 union soldiers who freed the slaves. people need to remember, and this president would do the people of this country a great service and history and reality entered the service if he would acknowledge that 300,000 people from the north engaged in a war of the union to free the slaves. this was not an uprising by slaves. people should remember this. this was not a moment in history in which some league leaders grew up from the south of the north. this was a process of the logical conclusion to my belief, of a nation that was divided at its inception on the issue of equal rights. and he

andrew jackson or abraham lincoln. in the 20th century, teddy roosevelt changes that. at one point roosevelt is pushing through some piece of legislation and people were telling him he can't do it, and he gets out a copy of the constitution and he holds up article ii and he says show me here why i can't do this. i think that become the assumption of presidents in the 20th century. if quur you're not specifically prevented from doing it, you can do it. wilson builds on the power of the president, the precedent that teddy roosevelt established. it's franklin roosevelt and the experience during world war ii that really changes the nature of the office and it's the cold war. the greatest expansion in presidential power throughout our history has taken place during times of war. what happens during the cold war is war is institutionalized. we live in a time of permanent war. it's the president's role as commander in chief that leads to not only the creation of this great apparatus around the executive, but also the expansion of power. this is the one elected person in our c
